I saw an Oregan Trail type game on the PlayBook months ago which i thought was pretty cool. I saw one of the comments (assuming from a young kid) saying something along the lines of "it's not a game, all you do is select things and its really short". I almost did a face palm after seeing this. i didn't think i was that old but i guess kids have never seen anything like that before, they would probably be super confused after seeing the floppy disk the game came on.

annnd to get somewhat on topic. Nice to see more games coming to BlackBerry!

Well someone should actually tell whoever is in charge of Gameloft's website, twitter feed, and facebook site that Gameloft actually does support Blackberry devices. It irks no end to still see, after all this time, no mention of the Playbook officially on their website; to have their respondents on twitter to actually tell me that Eternal Legacy, for example, is not available for the Playbook when I happen to be playing it right now.

I am quite pleased with Gameloft games - always have been - but this denial of admitting they publish for the Playbook just seems so odd from this company.

Alex from RIM here. It’s been really cool to see all the apps and games that developers are already preparing for the future BlackBerry 10 platform, including Gameloft’s announcement from earlier today. With a variety of BlackBerry 10 developer beta tools released at BlackBerry World yesterday, you can bet that there will be more on the way in no time.

I don't know much about development, but it seems pretty crazy that they will be able to release 11 games at once like that. If the process of getting applications over to the BB10 platform is that easy, it's a very good sign of even more things to come down the line!
